The CPA recently made a submission to the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change on the proposed Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The standard is intended to assist Ontario’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector.

In its brief, the CPA requested:

The RFS recognize propane as a low-carbon transportation fuel

The use of propane in vehicles and investment in low-carbon transportation projects be eligible for RFS compliance purposes

Investments by fleet operators and fuel distributors in propane vehicles and infrastructure be encouraged through rebates, tax breaks, program credits and other forms of government support.
